OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed and analyzed all randomized controlled trials and open studies of sustained GH treatmen...
متن کاملEffects of growth hormone on exercise capacity and cardiopulmonary performance in patients with chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Because GH exerted beneficial effects in various experimental models of heart failure, we investigated the effects of GH on physical exercise capacity and cardiopulmonary performance in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS Twenty-two patients with CHF (New York Heart Association functional class II-III) underwent spirometry and a symptom-lim...
